A private little war.
1,500 children die every year from child abuse and neglect. That is just over 4 fatalities every day. (kinda kicks that OTHER war in the ass doesnt it?)
I was involved in a case of child neglect today. Didn't want to do it, but i did. Didn't want to 'GET INVOLVED",but i had to. After all it really wasn't none of my business, WAS IT? The mother went in the store, the small boy was alone in the car. I was waiting for tanya to come back out.15 minutes go by. What would you do? 911 thats what i did. The whole thing just heartbreaking. I dont think the kid had any tears left. Ok with that said,im going out on a limb here in saying that,
"This is my war to PROTEST and everyone else has theirs".
